Salsa a la huancaina

Salsa a la huancaina is a Peruvian sauce that is traditionally used in the preparation of a famous appetizer called papas a la huancaina. This salsa is made with aji amarillo peppers or aji amarillo paste, onions, garlic, oil, evaporated milk, and queso fresco. The combination of these ingredients is blended until the sauce develops a smooth and thick texture. If the sauce is too thin, saltine crackers are typically used to thicken it. Salsa Huancaina is often used as a dip for french fries, boiled potatoes, corn, and fried yucca.
